1. Mike: I told Jim Newsome that when you have your act together, you'll be reaching out to him to describe our use cases and wishlists and goals for what we want from Shadow. That way he can have them in mind as he makes Shadow improvements, and who knows maybe he'll even lead the activities you ask for.
2. I'm planning to not submit a Defcon talk this year, since "every other year" is a fine rate for me. I am imagining to submit a CCC talk instead (finally). If you have opinions, please help me think through what is best to submit.
